Most running fans will have realised by now that Bjørk Herup Olsen is in good form at the moment. Hardly a weekend goes by without some record falling to her.
On Saturday she competed at a meet in Princeton, New Jersey, called the Larry Ellis Memorial, where she ran the 5,000 metres. Earlier this year Bjørk ran 17:12 min indoors, and she had set her sights on going even lower. That didn’t happen, but the result was still good enough for a new Faroese record by three seconds. The old record was her own, from the Island Games last summer, when she ran 17:40 min. Her time on Saturday, and the new record, is now 17:37.04!
FÍF congratulates Bjørk on the record.
